German AfD politicians met with militant neo-Nazis at a secret event in Switzerland in December. A German investigative reporter infilitrated the event and got photos of the attendees, which included violent neo-Nazi groups Junge Tat and Blood & Honour.

Lessons from the election: How defending a people-eating system is an electoral liability; how we don't win fights if we don't fight; how we aren't the opponent of those we won't oppose; and how those who do not lead us where we need to go are not our leaders.

I want to shut up about the election until it happens, and yet, I find that I have to say this or risk regret:
Please vote. For Harris. If not for yourself, then because a queer disabled person directly asked you to vote harm mitigation.
I did it, and I don't love it either.

Absolutely outrageous. And under Trump, we came within one vote in the Senate to retuning to this.
Didn’t even have a new plan in place. Just wanted to repeal this.

Before the ACA: we got a call from a social worker looking for an adoptive family with good health coverage for a baby whose 2 working parents could not afford the surgery she needed for her heart defect. They didn’t want to give up their 3rd child. We said sorry, because we had coverage w a cap.
NICU doctors told me that pre-ACA, complicated babies would max out their LIFETIME caps before their first breath of fresh air outside the hospital.
Our kid’s 96-day stay came to $1.3 million. Add in the follow-ups, and it’s easy to see how fast a kid could hit a $2M or $3M cap.

Trump is trying to get ahead of the reality that he and the heritage foundation are working to destroy America and institute a fascist dictatorship. He is lying and expecting the media to gaslight America for him.
